My everyday life; the way I see things; living in the moment and being grateful!

2010 Olympics

February 28, 2010

I have been taking advantage of the lovely sunny weather and walking outside to soak it up. I have committed to walking at least 30 minutes a day and I feel much better for it.

I realize that exercise is something that I must do everyday without question. When I stop just keep going and try again. Keep going. Patience and persistance. In my Yoga class this week the instructor talked about patience and persistence and focus. With those three things a person can reach their goals. This life of ours is not a dress rehearsal this is it.

I have been working out every day for 14 days. I go early in the morning so I get the workout done. I am run/walking to get up to running, lifting weights, riding the spin bike, swimming and doing Yoga. Patience, presistance and perserverance.

This month started out shaky for me feeling not motivated but a few events made me stop and get my priorities straight. A friend's wife was tragically killed in a cycling accident. I did not know her well, she was young and very amazing from all I have heard about her life. She lived her life to the fullest training and challenging herself with 7 ironman races. She lived several lifetimes in her short time on earth. At her funeral her husband spoke of her spirit and how he wished people to honor her by just living their life to the fullest. I am not taking my life for granted. So I am getting up off the couch and committing to moving every single day. And it is GREAT. I feel like a new person. So much healthier and moving in the right direction to get to my goals.

I've also been extremely inspired by the Olympics. So many great Canadian stories of perserverance, determination, human spirit, heartache, triumph. I love sport! GO Canada!! Today is the last day of the Olympics and it has been an amazing motivational journey.

Tessa, she loves the snow.

Today we got to witness the 2010 Olympic Torch come through our town. We got to take part in activities centered around the Olympics and the Olympic Spirit. I went with my daughter and her class to join in all of the fun. They made their own torches.

They took part in the outdoor fun, sledding, snowboarding, snowshoeing...
